Hey Fellas.

My R33 GTST is getting about 230Ks to the Tank... However big it is. Roughly 50Ltrs. The car has FMIC and is only running 10psi as only mods, and 19" rims.( not that it would matter).

I have read the forum of the R34 experiencing the same problems, but i am thinking different motor, different problems.

Any help or tips to rectify my fuel guzzling problem ????

Cheers Fellas.

Michael

If changing the O2 sensor would fix it, I would have included it.

For the 23,965,351st time, the ECU only responds to the O2 sensor at constant load / throttle. And there is very little of that in city driving. So changing the O2 sensor will have very little impact on fuel economy in city driving.

hey mate that is bad. my S2 has a pod, front mount, and zorst and i still get bout 500 from a tank. Is the car new to you or have you had it for a while?

As if its new for you i guarantee as said here already ease up on the old right foot (god knows i went through like 5 tanks of fuel in the first 2 weeks i had mine)

other than that service it if u dont know how long ago it was done. especially check for dirty airfilters and gunked up intakes had isue like this with previous cars you would be surprised the effect a dirty filter can cause after a while.

but im still gonna finnish by sayin ease up on the right foot :ninja:

Yer i will ease up.. and i probs should get it serviced as i dont know how long ago it was done.

Also, my mate who was driving behind me the other day, said that when i accelerated hard or harder than usual.. heaps of black shit was comming out of the exhaust. So maybe there is tooo much fuel goin into it. running way too rich??? dunno..

Its not oil, cos oil is blue smoke.

I wanna do a highway test to Brisbane from rocky. ABout 7hrs, but i am scared i will run out of fuel.

So yer about it running rich???

Cheers

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
